BulbgraphOnOff.gif New concepts for userboxes keep popping up in this user's mind.

I've been editing Wikipedia since June 2005. However, there are two things that I've found really difficult: navigating the miles of stupid Red Tape when it comes to uploading any picture on Wikipedia (one thing that drove me to Encyclopedia Dramatica and their streamlined picture upload protocols) and the extremely complicated system of References which is the counterpoint to the argument that "Wikipedia is unreliable".

So, here are my tests of references:

I really like userboxes, but I don't really feel like making three columns of userboxes, so I decided I'll just use some filler. I'm a big fan of lists anyway.

If you see a userbox that no longer works, feel free to correct or delete it.

First, articles I've personally started:

And a section of one of my favorite parts from Hamlet:

HAMLET O, that this too too sullied flesh would melt

Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!

Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd

His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!

How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,

Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,

That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature

Possess it merely. That it should come to this!

But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:

So excellent a king; that was, to this,

Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother

That he might not beteem the winds of heaven

Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!

Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,

As if increase of appetite had grown

By what it fed on: and yet, within a month--

Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!--

A little month, or ere those shoes were old

With which she follow'd my poor father's body,

Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--

O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,

My father's brother, but no more like my father

Than I to Hercules: within a month:

Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears

Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,

She married. O, most wicked speed, to post

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!

It is not nor it cannot come to good:

But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.


And lastly, a long lists of fortunes I personally wrote down. A nearby firehouse had an event a while ago, and there was a big box of fortune cookies left over. My Dad's a volunteer firefighter, and we can go to either of the two nearby firehouses to watch movies. So, when I went to that firehouse, instead of snacking on potato chips, peanuts, or pretzels, I descided to snack on fortune cookies. I saved the fortunes and took them home. Mostly during the commercial breaks of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With Conan O'Brien, I wrote down the fortunes, then saved a few that I thought were especially interesting, and then threw away the rest.

Thus concludes a huge volume of text to compliment the long line of userboxes. I suppose I could have just made multiple columns of userboxes, but where's the fun in that?
